Edwina spent her entire life in Adams county, attended the grade school. On account of ill health she could not continue her education. Here was a well rounded, beautiful and unassuming nature, yet she was %tnd and gentle to all who knew her. Since her mother died she made her home with her half sister, Mrs. Genevieve OweTls. She became a blessing to this home and to the other relatives and friends. She was an active member of the First United Brethren church, her membership continued for 15 years. She was a member of the V. I. 8. or Young Peoples class taught by Earl Crider, a member ■of tiie Otterbein Guild and was an assistant teacher in the Junior department. When health permitted she was regular in attendance, loyal to pastor and church. To these activities her faifutul Christian life will be missed During her illness which resulted in her death everything that meuical science, nurses, and hospital could do with the love of her home and relatives nothing could prevail, death claimed its own.

CHAPTER XLV The following day Cecily called on Captain Lo-kwood at his office in the bank. "I want a Jeb lor Helen, Phil. She’s in the dumps. She ought to do something. We’ve consider ed all the ladylike possibilities; interior decoration, tea room*, dress shoppea Unfortunately all these take a certain •mount of talent and training but •ori’ll work M "I like thati” Philip Lockwood exploded. “Don’t you think social work takes talent and training, young woman?” “No,” Cecily exclaimed bluntly, “it’s the windiest profession on the market. That’s what Dirk always said. Helen has brain* and charm. Oh, such charm, Phil!” “I know it Darn sweet girl. Too bad her marriage was a flop. But I never did cotton to those Rileys—” Cecily nodded but said nothing. “What could Helen do, Ces? Social work may be windy, as you so pungently put it (I can hear Dirk laugh —damn it, how I miss him!) but Helen is utterly without office experience or case work experience.” “She’s got to do something, Phil. She's depressed and listless and she isn’t interested in anything. I thought if you could give her a job, it would be a step in the right direction for her. Another man would help . . .” “Too bad I can’t qualify there,” he snickered. She laughed. “Seriously, Helen is a woman made for love and marriage. She’s a born wife; she has a real talent for wifehood.” “Don’t belittle that talent, Ces. I wish more women had it.” "Belittle it! I wish I had it.” Phil looked away from the plain, intelligent face opposite him. "I think this talent of Helen’s maybe redirected into other channels, however. She's so gracious and adaptable.” “Send her to me tomonow at ten and in the meantime I’ll pull some string* and arrange it sc that she can do something on Monday.” “Fine. You can give a general promotion at the Association and fire the man at the very top! That always seem* to me to be a particularly apt way of promoting people •nd the chap at the head is probably lazy, unsatisfactory and officious. No one will mi-ss him. Well, good-bye, Phil. Kiss the kids for me. Helen will be here at ten. Goodbye—and thanks loads.” “Don’t mention it, Ces. At your service any time. You know that!” • • • Helen Schiller—for this was the name under which she entered her new job—did not become a successful social worker; a second Lillian Wald or Jane Addams. She was told to report Monday at nine at the office of the Tuberculosis Association to begin her duties as receptionist in a gloomy office building on Fourth Avenue. Helen fluttered in at nine-thirty (the bus simply crawled) wearing her simplest dress that was distinctive because of its simplicity. Her duties were not arduous. She was to ask visitors whom they wanted t<' see and then to decide whether the person was too busy to see them. . . . The technic was simple. The important executives were too busy to see anybody but the most important people. The case workers were to handle all the cases and these were to be referred to one Miss Milligan, a tired-faced, middle-aged, neat woman, who would then refer the case to the proper investigator. Helen was assigned to a small desk in the reception room, a pleasant enough place with wicker furniture, a greet rug, and a long imitation mahogany library table covered with literature of the organization, a few health magazines and such newspapers as were laid there and forgotten. When she wasn’t busy being a receptionist, Helen addressed envelopes, soliciting contributions for the Campaign Department. All this was carefully explained to Helen while Mrs. Ingalls, the office manager, secretly admired Helen’s skin and wondered about Helen’s hair. Helen was terrifically anxious to make good. But Mrs. Ingalls had neglected to mention how one handled salesmen of labor-savings devices, insurance agents, solicitors of advertisements and a whole d*ov'e of interesting and instructive fellows with something »o sell. Helen

yesterday Constable Oscar Morg-j an aaw Comer in the Simpion machine «ou’h of Blanchard. I >1 A chase fluted three mile*. Fin-; ally Comer jumped from the car j •nd began shooting. Morgan's, bullet, entered hi* head between ! , the eyes. ■ The two women, both- known to I have claimed being Comer's wife, were seen with him during the six days period. Neither has been seen since. In Comer's pocket officers' found a note, printed crudely on the back of a business card, read-

graciousiy sent tnem in with their I impressive brief cases—usually coni cealing safety razor gadgets, automatic desk fasteners, etc., to the i executive secretary or only someone less important, the publicity director. By noon of her first day the office was a shambles. “I’m so sorry,” Helen apologized contritely, "but he didn’t say he was a carbon paper salesman. Why, he said he had m his brief case a paper to revolutionize the office detail of ’ this organization. Oh, the wretch! I thought surely he must have been someone terribly important.” Nor did it help matters when Helen kept out the President of the Board of Directors, a meek, gray little man who said he didn’t want to see anyone in particular; but just anyone who wasn't busy. Helen severely sent him about his business. “How was I to know he was President of the Board of Directors 7 ” she wailed. “Why, he looked just like a a bank clerk!" Fortunately Mr. O'rdsley, whom she sent away so unceremoniously, was completely captivated by Helen's charm. He made a great joke of his dismissal but the laughter of the others was a little sickly. The girls in the office were not slow to realize that Helen hadn't 1 bought her clothes on her salary as a reception clerk. “She’s probably Lockwood’s sweetheart," was the consensus of opinion. But they liked her in spite of their envy. She vias so disarming in her ignorance of office procedure, so pleased at their suggestions even when they were given sniffishly. The hardest part of her job was getting in at nine o’clock. No matter how early she left the apartment, Helen came in late. She was one of those people for whom trains are delayed by short circuits; floods and blownout fuses. Firemen held firelincs in her way and forced her to make detours of eight blocks or poor men were thrown by runaway horses and Helen was held (only too willingly) as witness. Helen never lied—Mrs. Ingalls didn't even believe the truth! “Where do you live, Mis* Schiller?” she questioned acidly. “On Washington Square.” “On the Square?” “Yes, Washington Square North.” “Oh!” And her “Oh” was poisonous. Then by astute questioning, Mis* Ziegler, one of the secretaries, made the horrifying discovery. “Why, she’s a society woman doing social work as a fad.” Which, of course, was unforgivable. One day one of the case workers, Miss Birde, fell and dislocated her hip. Mr. Meech was about to telephone the Social Workers’ Exchange for a case worker when Helen pleaded earnestly, “Mr. Meech, couldn’t I be a case worker, temporarily, until Miss Birde recovers? I think I could do the w-ork. I understand it and I think I’d be much better fitted to work with cases than here in the office.” Mr. Meech, who was assistant director, looked rt Helen through his spectacles. He was a plump, middle-aged man, who was sa : d to have a very sad story behind him. “It would certainly be giving the cases a break to have anyone as lovely as you to call on them,” Mr. Meech remarked unexpectedly. “Oh, Mr Meech.” Helen blushed in embarrassment. “And I don’t know but that it wouldn’t be a good thing!” “I’ll work so hard and I’ll do everything Miss Birde did. She explained everything to me. I'll take courses at night at the School for Social Workers too.” “That won’t be necessary,” he said drily. “Some of the ablest social workers in the country haven’t gone through all this new-fangled academic hocus-pocus. There’s no harm in trying. I’ve a hunch you’ll make a fine case worker. You have brains, intelligence and enthusiasm.” “Oh, Mr. Meech, thank you!” But as it happened Mr. Meech was wrong. It is undoubtedly true that Helen had brains, intelligence and enthusiasm. She had, in fact, too much enthusiasm. » » • Helen burst into the law offices of Lester Molyneaux one day to ask his help in one of her cases. She

- was too sacitea co nonce tnat th* walls were hung with tapestry; that the carpet beneath her feet was i royal blue and softer than moss and that the reception clerk could have graced the Follies if she could sing or dance or even act natural. She was admitted without a moment’s wait. Lester Molyneaux looked up from the papers he was signing. Helen was unimpressed by his immaculate gray suit, his spotless linen or his great private office with its paneled walls and marble fireplace. He rose as she dashed toward him. Was this beautiful, flaming girl the pale, apathetic Helen Riley of a few months ago? “Why, Mrs. Riley, how do you do I What a pleasure. Won’t you sit down"' “How -v you do. Oh, Mr. Molyneaux, you must help me! It’s really an outrage. This woman’s husband, he’s dead, was an ex-serv-ice man and she looks so tired. She's a splendid woman but you sec the oldest two have tuberculosis and , she’s an incipient ease. . Then seeing his look of utter astonishment, she began to laugh. “I suppose you think I’m crazy.” “I think you’re magnificent.” “You don’t know so I’ll have to begin from the beginning. Oh, : dear.” She sat down. “I'm a case worker. I’m working for the Anti- , Tuberculosis Association.” In a few moments she explained the case to him. He listened attentively. “Well, Joan, I think I can help you.” Oh, fine. But I think you've mixed me up with two other people. I’d better save you from future embarrassment. The name is HelenHelen Schiller Riley. Not Joan.” “To be sure. Helen of Troy but also Joan—Joan of Arc!” “Oh, Mr. Molyneaux, how gallant!” Helen suddenly realized that she was enjoying herself. She was flirting with Lester Molyneaux, the first time she had flirted in jears and years and years. And she loved it. Molyneaux looked at his watch. “It’s noon. Haven’t you served humanity sufficiently for one morning? Won’t you give me the pleasure of taking* you to lunch? And then I'll go with you to your worthy Mrs. McNaughton and we’ll see what is to be done.” • • * If there was something irregular in the dispatch with which the McNaughton case was disposed of, by the time it came to the attention of the proper authorities at the Charity Organization Societyeveryone had forgotten just who the investigator was and just what had happened anyway. And even though the case was satisfactorily closed, the records were so deplorably incomplete that there was great to-do over it in the offices of the Mighty. Lester Molyneaux had never married. This was the one experience in his life he hadn’t had. At fortynine he still dangled the idea of marriage as a future insurance against boredom in his old age. Not that Lester Moiyneaux was ever bored. Debonair, cynical, he found life an amusing spectacle and most of the people in it clowns. He had more money than he could ever possibly spend in his lifetime; he had a few friends whom he admired and loved (Dirk Terhune had been one of them). Never handsome, he was more distinguished-looking at forty-nine than he had been at twenty-nine. His thick auburn hair, grayed at the temples, had in his youth been merely a shock of red hair. The years had the same estheticising effect on his features and the softening of his manner. Then he had been called volcanic—now he was charming. Helen, he perceived and appreciated, was a woman whore cnief talent was being a charming woman; she had no desire to shine; rather she glcwed softly when she was with a man whom she happened to like. He found her selflessness, her adaptability and her real kindness qualities he had sought long and had never heretofore found in the same woman. After three week* of intensive courtship Lester Molyneaux knew that he was wholly and intelligently in love with her.
